Saudi-led coalition airstrikes kill six civilians in Yemen's port city of Mokha

On September 22, 2026, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on the port city of Mokha in Yemen killed at least six civilians, including two children and a woman, and wounded eight others, according to the Houthi-affiliated Saba news agency. The strikes occurred as Yemen's Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has advanced along the Red Sea coast, seizing territory including Mokha. The conflict, which resumed in July after being frozen since 2022, has drawn international responses: Yemen's government requested US support, and the UK agreed to provide military aid to Saudi Arabia. The G7 called on Houthis to cease attacks on shipping.
